This very cute little project had been sitting for about 18months waiting to have the binding hand-sewn down. One and half years is a long time for a little project to sit patiently!
It all started when I was gifted the small stitchery piece from a lady in my quilt group who had made many of them to give out to members. I wanted the embroidery to be the focal piece.
So... after some thought, I decided to make a new cutlery roll for my work lunchbox, using a pattern that I had made up several years ago. It's so weird to go back and re-read old notes in my quilting journals and see what I had been thinking at the time... A trip down memory lane...
Simple cross-hatch quilting, fusible pellon wadding and everything else out of "the stash". A lovely, if I do say so myself, little project that is practical and shows off someone else's embroidery.
Finished size: 12.5in x 17.5in

Nice finish Andrea. I love my zippered placemat rolls too.
Why do we leave things languishing when all we need to do is sew down the binding! ha ha ha...great idea to use a stitchery for the pocket and highlight your friend's cute little piece of work...
